Post-doctoral position available at the FDA

[RNDr.Cerven Dobroslav]

Dear Dr. Kenney,

I read your e-mail message (Leishmanial conference), about your offer 
for postdoctoral fellowship in research in the field of leishmania.  
As I have some experiences in this topic especially (cultivation, 
diagnosing), even from Afghanistan, I would like to extend deeply my 
knowledge  in this, for me so interesting field.
Therefore, I would like to learn more details of your proposing 
position, and if possible, I would like to start working at your 
program.
I am sending to you my CV, and for any additional information, please contact 
me thru e-mail address: cerven at fns.uniba.sk

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon

Work experience

Research Assistant				February - August 1987
	After receiving my RNDr. degree in January 1987, I worked at Comenius University's
	Department of Zoology. I worked as an assistant to Assoc. Prof. Ladislav Jedlicka, PhD.,
	who was doing research on Simuliidae (Diptera).

Military service (Afghanistan)
	While serving in the Afghani army, I worked in a laboratory at a military hospital,
	where I gained more experiences in the diagnosis of parasitic diseases (including
	malaria, leishmaniasis). The results were later published (see below).

Teaching assistant
	After discharge from military service I worked as a teaching assistant in the Department
	of Microbiology at Balkh College of Medicine in the town Mazar-e-Sharif, in Afghanistan.
	There I worked with M. L. Amiri, MD, from the Institute of Malaria and Parasitic diseases.
	The results "Occurrence of cutaneous leishmaniosis in the province of Balkh (Northern
	Afghanistan) between 1989 - 1994" of our research were presented in 1995
	at an International Symposium in Kosice (Slovakia).

Phd thesis
	I defended my PhD thesis "The species diversity, man biting activity and
	virological testing of mosquitoes in Western Slovakia", in 1994.
	
	
Main published articles and conference lectures

	"Occurrence of malaria in some Northern Afghanistan's Provinces between 1991 - 1994." 
		Lecture at a Slovak scientific conference in 1995: "Actual Problems 
		in Human Parasitology."
	"The results of virological testing of mosquitoes in western Slovakia." Part of
		my dissertation thesis, lectured at a Czech and Slovak scientific conference 
		in 1994: "Dipterological Conference" in Donovaly (Slovakia).

		at the Slovak - Austrian conference, 1993
	"Parasitic diseases in Afghanistan." Unpublished. This lecture was presented in 1985
		at Comenius University's Faculty of Medicine, as a part of the Faculty
		Scientific Conference. Since I was not a student of the Faculty of Medicine,
		I was technically not allowed to participate in this competition, but the judges
		awarded this lecture with a certificate of honourable mention.

		This lecture was delivered in 1984 as a part of the Faculty scientific conference
